The area stretching between Ueno Hirokoji and Yushima Station is one of Tokyo's most historic and deep nightlife districts. Its history is long, dating back to the days of the former red-light district of Ikenohata. And don't forget that nearby Ueno Station was once the "Gateway to Tohoku."
For this reason, there are still many restaurants that advertise Tohoku's local cuisine and bars where people gather in search of the flavors of their hometown. There are long-established soba restaurants that have been in business for 100 years, drinking establishments that convey the vitality of the Showa era, and one of Japan's most competitive areas for yakiniku... It is a truly deep food town where history, culture, and people's lives intertwine in many layers.
Today, we'll be introducing 10 famous restaurants in the Ueno/Yushima area that have been loved for over half a century and are worth stopping off at for a drink.
